Natalia JiménezUPGMA dendrogram showing genetic relatedness among MRSA isolates as determined by PFGE with SmaI. The broken line corresponds to the cutoff level (80%) used to define related PFGE clones. Note that CC8 MRSA isolates form a separate cluster by PFGE and were genetically related to infectious MRSA strains previously reported in the city.
